Ford swings through N.C. on campaign
BY CLIFF MITCHELL
Special to the Carolinian
President Ford was in Greensboro
this past weekend for both political
and non-political speeches.
Ford breezed through the western
portion of North Carolina arriving in
Greensboro. Then he was off to
Winston-Salem and Wilkes County.
The President held a morning news
conference at Guilford College, but
most questions were put aside due to
Howard "Bo" Calloway's resignation
as Chairman of the President Ford
Committee.
Calloway "temporarily stepped
aside" as head of the Ford re-election
committee due to allegations that he
had used his influence as Secretary of
Defense to promote the development
of a ski-resort in Colorado that is
partially owned by Calloway.
Ford called him a "man of
integrity" and refused further
comment pending investigations by
the F.B.I, and "other appropriate
agencies."
In answer to a question on N. C.
Governor Jim Holshouser's future with
Ford's new administration, he said
that he would "consider him as one of
the potential Vice Presidential
candidates." He also added that he
would be eligible for an "outstanding
nnsition in the new administration."
Ford was questioned on the recent
decision by Secretary of Interior
KJeppe to recommend that the New
River be included in the Wild and
Scenic River Program, barring further
development.
Ronald Reagon has critized Ford
for not taking a position on the river
and using the office of the President
for political announcements.
Ford told the audience that the
Secretary "had made the decision
entirely on his own. He never talked to
me about it."
In answering Reagan's charges,
Ford said that he "never paid much
attention to last minute political
observations or charges."
In response to other questions Mr.
Ford said:
—He wouldn't be satisfied until
"every person who wants a job can get
a job." and added he was encouraged
by the reduction of the
unemployment figures.
—He would keep Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger "as long as I am
President." The Secretary of State is
"doing a fine job," he said.
-He would support "financial
assistance: both grants and loans and
work incentive programs to students"
beyond the secondary school level.
President's speech well received,
Ford fields questions from crowd
Wallace speaks at Hilton
BY CLIFF MITCHELL
Governor Goerge Wallace brought
his campaign into Greensboro
yesterday saying that he expected to
win the North Carolina Primary.
Wallace said that he "would not be
satisfied" with a second place finish in
N.C. He added thai il "wouldn't be
fatal" to his campaign.
Although recent polls show Wallace
I railing former Georgia governoi
Jimmy Carler. he said thai he had a
good chance to be first, even though
some of the polls didn't show 11 now
Speaking ai the Hilton Hotel before
a luncheon lor business leaders and
supp oilers. Wallace look I he
opportunity to elaborate on his
statement calling Jimmy Laitei a
"warmed over McGovern."
He said that the "lop people in his
(Carter's) organization are the old
McGovern supporters."
Asked whether he would suppoii
Carter if he received the nomination,
Wallace replied, "He's noi the nominee
yet, that's .1 speculative question ...
too speculative."
Wallace spoke at gieat length on
helping ihe middle class, one ol the
predominant themes in his campaign.
He said lhal the lax structure "has
come down tin the people of the stale
heavier than anybody else, exempting
the super-rich."
He said lhal he had dedicated
himself t<> end the days where the
factory workers have to beat the brunl
of supporting those on welfare and the
super-rich.
ELECTION
RESULT
Alan Pike was the winner
of the SGA presidential
run-off election on March 4
before Spring Break.
It is the masses of people, he said,
that have had to pay the burden of
highei utility rates, and higher
insurance costs, while those who have
made it a "profession to be poor" live
off of the middle class.
Wallace also took up a favorite line
trom the 1972 campaign, "a vote for
(ieorge Wallace in North Carolina . . .
is loi a message bearer."
He added that the people of Boston
said "we want you to carry a message
down there 200 years ago Paul
Revere rode and said the British are
coming . . . you ride on down there
and I ell them the people are coming."
Wilkes County, N.C.-It was billed
as a good old country political rally,
and that's just what it was.
President Ford helicoptered from
Hanes Mall in Winston-Salem and then
to West Wilkes High School in rural
Wilkes County.
Ford was obviously pleased at the
crowd, which numbered about 2,500
people in the packed gym. About one
hundred people stiid outside in the
cold to hear him speak on
loudspeakers set up on the roof.
The gym was plastered with signs
saying "Ford has a better idea" and
"We like Ford" and the like. It was
more like a carnival than a political
speech. It was the first time that a
President had come to the county, and
the people were awed with the sight of
the helicopters, the secret service and
all the pomp and circumstances.
The local radio station did live
remote broadcasts, pre-empting
programming for some five hours. The
County Sherriffs department was
there, all of the seven men. and so was
the local volunteer fire department.
None of the small town flavor
affected Ford, in fact one campaign
aide said that he enjoyed it better than
Greensboro or Winston-Salem.
Ford chided with the audience
saying that there was "no reason to
trade Ford in on a new model."
He soon remembered what he was
there for, saying that he was here to
"get close to the people of the state."
The President said that "we hear a
lot of sceptical and cynical talk these
days about America being in a state of
decline...That's wrong and you know
it and I know it."
He also said that he was "sick and
tired of those who would run down
America and I'm proud to be an
American and I know every one of
you are too."
Ford, in a somewhat unusual move,
allowed people in the audience to ask
questions for more than a half-hour.
The questions ranged from a man
who couldn't drive to his property
because they have blocked part of the
Blue Ridge Parkway...Ford said he
would look into it. to a 7-year old girl
who asked how did it feel to be
President... "Well I kinda like the job."
Two questions were fielded to Ford
whose answer brought the house to its
feet in applause: one that he opposes
the decriminalization of marijuana and
the second that he would keep
Secretary of State Kissinger.
Not all these people in the crowd
were interested in Ford, Ann Compton
of ABC News received continuous
observation while she was doing a
report from inside the gym. Maybe
lights, cameras and tape-recorders and
news-reporters are more interesting
than politicians.
Work is exhausting for debate team at tournament
BY JANE PATRICK

Traveling on the debate circuit
involves fai more than leisure.
Debaters Lori Cecil and Don Lilly
and then coach Dean ladely know the
amount ol lime they must devote to
have an outstanding learn. The hours
they spend al UNC-G preparing then
debate material only prefaces what
happens al tournaments.
I he trio spends nearly every
weekend d living to debate
tournaments iluoughout the eastern
United Slates, where they confront
teams from many olhei paits of the
nation Dining spring break, the team

I allahassee.
Io explain what a debate
tournament is like, it is necessary to
uole what it is not. It is not an
expense paid vacation, an easy way to
cut a lew classes, or all fun.
Debating is work. Lori and Don
ptoved how much tension debaters
experience iluoughout a tournament

rounds.
Ihe exhausting part only begins
when it's time to unpack the car.
Carrying tremendous, heavy file boxes
ol evidence is routine for the team.
"You get used to it." Lori said. They
also gel used to the strange stares of
people in hotel elevators when they
begin loading their note card-filled
vaults. Sometimes the other teams
wince when they see all those boxes
coming into a round.
Preparations nevei cease. "Debate
is the only thing you'll hear us talk
about for the next few days." Lori
cautioned the first night. She was
light. The 13-hout drive to Florida was
full of conjectures about the opposing
team. Meal times were opportunities

plan strategy.

the affirmative or negative side to
defend.
Don grew tense and quiet before
rounds. His first words to the judge
were soft spoken. Then as his
absorption with his argument grew, his
voice rose and he gestured to
emphasize his points.
Seconds count. In the Florida State
tournament, speakers presented
arguments for ten minutes,
cross-examined for three, and
delivered rebuttals for five minutes. In
that amount of time, a debater must
defend his assigned position and argue
against the opposition's stand in a way
to convince the judge to vote in his
team's favor.
There was no time for relaxation.
